This nifty Paramount Pictures cardboard fan (the handle is not pictured) dates from the late 1920s, and measures 8" x 9". It likely was given away at a theater, as few were air conditioned back then. This promotional fan pictures Louise Brooks, Clara Bow, Pola Negri, Florence Vidor, Bebe Daniels, Esther Ralston and Lois Moran. [For sale on eBay - at a premium.] Cool.
